I'd be trying to find the ground loop and eliminate it if possible.

Thanks. As noted above I did find the source and it is the ground in the cable TV coax into the STB.

So it looks like I have two choices:

1) This product from Jensen: http://www.jensen-transformers.com/datashts/vrd1ff.pdf or one like it. Does anyone know of any other product like this I should consider?

I do not use satellite so that's not an issue. Only potential problem is that the site says there have been some reports about certain channels not coming in.

2) Take Wayne up on his offer to send him the parts/supplies and construct the special connectors.

Which is the better route to go here folks? Advantages/disadvantages of these approaches?
